Rollerdrome Reviews
Rollerdome combines different elements like parkour movements, shooting and skating into a smooth experience. That being said, Rollerdome gets repetitive quite easily and lack of some in depth modes or features can be felt. Nevertheless, if you want to try shooting while doing some crazy stunt, give it a try!

Rollerdrome created a unique, stylish action game that new players can enjoy and demonstrate their skills at, while also bringing older fans some of the magic Roll7 has been known for over the year. We liked this experimental game but some aspects could be improved. The game feels like the start for something more rich to come in the future.

All in all, Rollerdrome absolutely nailed it in terms of gameplay but it came at the cost of other aspects such as the story. The two-tier system of guns and tricks is so well done that I constantly find myself trying to outdo my previous score because I know I can do better. Unfortunately, the game failed to tie the overarching story and gameplay together in any meaningful way. If it’s stylish action you’re looking for, Rollerdrome’s got that covered for a while. It’s just a shame that doesn’t offer much else.
Mixing my gaming career with the skates and violence of Rollerdrome was a pleasant surprise, especially given the lukewarm (to say the least) appeal of the announcement trailer. Roll7's title, like all the studio's productions, is much more fun to play than to passively watch. The reasons lie in gameplay that perfectly blends the team's freestyle spirit with an adrenaline-fueled, well-constructed TPS framework. The resulting mix is original and engaging, aided by a non-trivial challenge level, though it lacks overall content, admittedly a bit limited, but in line with the selling price. Hopefully, the English team can expand their creation over time, as the dystopian world of Rollerdrome seems to have many more stories to tell.

Rollerdrome confirms Roll7's ability to create original products of undisputed quality. Mixing extreme sports with shooting, the development team offers a title that is as galvanizing as it is rewarding. A few minor flaws and a difficulty level that requires good manual dexterity might deter some of the user base. Everyone else can lace up their skates and get their guns ready-there is a championship to be won.

Rollerdrome is an innovative, upbeat, often sadistic, and utterly satisfying shooter-skater that had me completely immersed in its 10 hours long single-player campaign. Coming off from OlliOlli World, I would have preferred a little more variety in the visual department, not to mention more forgiving combat encounters in the latter half of the campaign, though what's here is substantial. If you're up for the challenge, Rollerdrome is well worth your money and time.
Rollerdrome beautifully meshes two very different genres and defies all expectations coming into it. The style practically drips out of the screen as Roll7 delivers one of the most unique and exciting games in recent memory.
While both the gunplay and the tricks might be a bit simplistic, Rollerdrome nonetheless combines them into a fantastic mix of action gameplay that can honestly be hard to pull away from.
In a year full of releases of immense quality, Rollerdrome exceeds expectations and brings an immensely creative and original experience that blends the action and sports genres as few have done before. So we have a game that, although small, brings with it a superb art style and difficult, yet fun and rewarding gameplay.

Extreme sports games used to be a genre of games that were all the rage back in the late 90’s to early 2000’s. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, Mat Hoffman BMX and Aggressive Inline to name a few, each having varying degrees of success. However, these games sort of died out, mostly due to over saturation of the market.
If you ever loved Tony Hawks, Jet Set Radio, Max Payne or any/all of the above, you should definitely look into Rollerdrome. It’s a smart, well-designed, polished genre hybrid that genuinely does something a bit different while still giving you a game you’ll enjoy and be familiar with.
It may not be always the most accessible game, but this game from Roll7 stands out visually and presents perfect challenges for gamers who love to hit high scores.

Rollerdrome is a marvel both in terms of design and gameplay, but its narrative aspect is forced to tell nothing, so its ending ends up being a bit bit bitter. Still, it's worth every second of its gameplay.

Rollerdrome is everything fans of extreme sports and violent action games could want. The action is frenetic, visually delightful and incredibly fun, and there are few things more satisfying than stringing together various tricks and pirouettes while taking out hostiles with shotguns aimed at your head. There are some problems that generate occasional moments of frustration, and some decisions that end up not making the most of the concept of this game. But nothing stops Rollerdrome from being an experience as captivating as it is stylish, which is a delight to watch and to play in equal measure.

As a whole, I can’t stress enough how impressed I was with Rollerdrome. Roll7 perfectly picked up two completely different gameplay loops and mixed them together in a cohesive and addictive title with a shockingly intuitive control scheme. It’s fast-paced, it makes you feel cool as hell while playing it, and it’s ridiculously addictive. It’s one of the perfect examples of creativity still looming in today’s seemingly tired and creatively bankrupt industry.
Rollerdrome is the love child of chaos and style, fast-paced action with a bright and vibrant comic book art style that never felt so good. Depending on how fast you adapt to the madness, you could be in the endgame building montage-worthy gameplay and competing for ultimate bragging rights within the first day. If you wanted to take it a bit slower, the list of challenges to revisit and the assist menu let you tackle the game at your own pace. Either way, Rollerdrome is an incredibly exciting experience and a fine addition to the PlayStation library.
"Rollerdrome" is an excellent game in a genre that is now almost completely extinct.

Once you get into that Rollerdrome zen state it's hard to pull yourself away. Easily one of the best indie games of the year and a must-play for PlayStation and PC fans alike.
When everything comes together, Rollerdrome feels incredible, but too often, things get buried under the weight of its many systems. While even at its worst, there is definitely fun to be had here, this feels like an incredible concept for a game where the developers needed to spend a little more time workshopping what aspects of it were really needed. It’s still a good game, though, and the foundation is in place for a sequel to be truly incredible.
I really appreciate how you can tweak the settings so the game is as hard or as easy as you would like but either way, you cut it, the game is awesome and a must-play!
